Get your notebook and pen toy people, because we’re about to get down to business. In today’s podcast episode, we talk about the grind of obtaining funding for your toy business. My guest is Terri Nichelle Bradley, the founder, and CEO of Brown Toy Box. Terri’s toy company, Brown Toy Box, makes STEAM culturally representative, accessible, and fun. In 200, Terri was named one of Inc’s 100 Top Female Founders, her company received $10,000 as a part of Targets Accelerator program and was also a recipient of the Google for Startups Black Founders Fund. Terri drops in to share her toy business journey. From failures to successes and everything in between, Terri shares tips and advice based on her personal experience.

This episode also touches on very sensitive topics to black women in business. Terri and I chat about the monetary limits black women tend to place on themselves. We talk about the importance of asking for what you need and not what you can “make work”.
